Club Notes – Week Beginning 01/01/18

The football club would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone connected with the football club a Happy New Year for 2018.

We would also like to thank all the supporters who took the time out of their Christmas Holidays to come along and support the team at this year’s Border Cup, unfortunately the cup has avoided us yet again but we will try again next season. We would also like to thank our sponsors Murphy’s Bar & Restaurant and Carousel Bingo for their support both this season and for the final. Also, a big thanks to Ciaran McMenamin and Lignum Interiors for kindly sponsoring the players and management’s polo shirts for the final and to Phily Polly and Cosy Roof for their very generous sponsorship of the players warm up tops for the final. We really appreciate your support and would ask all are members to continue to support these businesses.

Due to unforeseen circumstances Decembers 100 Club Draw was cancelled and will take place this Saturday 6th January in Murphy’s Bar & Restaurant at approximately 5.00pm. We would like to remind all those who have taken a number that their money must be in before the draw in order for their number to be entered. We still have a small selection of numbers available if anyone is interested in supporting the club they can contact Mark Murphy 07738 637702 or Tony McShane 07716 853990.
